Disney on Ice

Tonight we went w/ Nanni & Poppy and took the girls to Conceco to see Disney on Ice. I don't know how we got so lucky - I guess Mom's shopping the pre-sale for the tickets, but we were like the 8th row off the floor and center ice! Grace had been once before, but Eva was ga-ga over the entire event. Grace loved it, but also loved all the "extras" :-) i.e. the $12 cotton candy that Poppy bought her. It cracks me up b/c Poppy is buying it saying, "I'll get you to like cotton candy someday (when Grace was little - Eva's age, she wouldn't even try it!)" Yet Poppy's still saying it while Grace is eating it as fast as you breath air! And, a dentist - doesn't seem to jive does it?

Once the show started and the characters came out on the ice, Eva literally kept her right arm in the air waving for the whole first half of the show -- nearly an hour! At one point she had to use her left arm to support the right one but she didn't quit waving. After the intermission, and a good rest she was good to go back to waving, but started to get tired towards the end.

I remember taking Grace to Disney at Eva's age and forgot how at that age they TRULY believe that is Cinderella, or Mickey Mouse, etc... it's amazing to watch. It's no wonder that Eva is scared when Grace puts on a scary Halloween mask, I mean clearly she is easily convinced that Cinderella is waving to her - so a monster isn't a far stretch.
